First time feeding! :D
I just fed Casper in a large plastic container that fits in his cage and he snarfed down 2 pinkies as quick as a wink, with me watching. So no shy eaters here! ^_^ it's dorky, but I am so proud of him right now, hehehe...
the pinkies left nice healthy looking lumps, but he was acting as though he could have eaten another one. Should I try offering him a 3rd next time or should I keep it at the 2... He's definitely not ready for fuzzies yet...
I got a few pics that I hope I can post soon...

Re: First time feeding! :D
yay! what makes you think he can't take a fuzzy? if he can eat 2 pinkies that's a good indication that he's ready for fuzzies.

Re: First time feeding! :D
Corns can take prey twice their girth, if it is taking two pinkies easily then one fuzzy should be fine imo

Re: First time feeding! :D
Ah... I thought it was only 1.5x girth... In that case I'll be picking up a fuzzy or 2 to offer him next feeding... Thanks for the info! 
I even got a short video of him inhaling the 2nd pinkie...
The store had him on 2 pinkies every 4 days... Is that right? >_>

Re: First time feeding! :D
1 fuzzy every 6 or so days should be fine

Re: First time feeding! :D
oh, he can REALLY take a fuzzy, no problem
Edit: I don't even think 2 pinkies is enough. Definitely move him up to a fuzzy!

Saright... So I fed HER (got her sexed and "he" is a "she") a fuzzy for the first time today... MUCH bigger response! She even did a full strike and coil before nomming down what seemed to be an impossibly huge fuzzy. She seemed satisfied after eating this time unlike the first feeding where she still seemed hungry.
Thanks for the advice on the larger prey!

You took my name suggestion! Yay, I feel accomplished.
Anyways, he definitely looks like an anerythristic to me.
